leafpad is broken with a missing shared library " libpng12.so.0 " symlinking to one of the libpng.tcz libraries does not appear to fix it.

leafpad needs a bunch of deps, it might be presumptuous of me to think that if all the features of leafpad function then these deps would be good also, unfortunately one maybe more deps are missing from the dep file

The tc-5.x iso are generated on the server and so use the server's syslinux.

One possible solution is that, as soon as we complete tc-5.x alpha testing, you could take over the syslinux extension maintenance and adjust it to be the same version as that of the server?

Why does it have to be the same as the server (which ISOLINUX says it's a derivative of or is Debian and is older than the extension)? isolinux.bin has 0 dependencies on the ISO build system. isohybrid (used on CorePlus and TinyCore ISOs) would potentially have a dependency but I haven't had issues using the official builds on my system which is very different from the build box used to make these binaries. isohybrid.pl is independent but has a Perl dependency.
